I took my fourth Gmat test today and scored 620(q46, V30). For my previous attempt, i needed to travel to another country for the test. My highest score was 650 (q47, V33) and though this bad performance was due to travel and living condition in that foreign country. This time, there is a center at home, and prepare intensely for the test. I was disappointed to see this score though I think that my time management was not good. I ended up guessing last 2 quant and verbal questions.
I want to apply to top 20 B-schools this year but I am not sure of my chance. I would like to write the test again but I don't know how adcom will view my multiple attempts. I am in a country where GMAT is not famous. The exam center' monitor said that I am the first person to cross the 600s barrier in his center but I am not sure adcom consider this. I really want to cross the 700s line.
What do you think?
Please, in light of my record, tell me what's wrong with my preparation. Which course should I buy to improve?
